Take a pillow - a horseshoe under your head. Tablets from motion sickness. It is forbidden to import meat and dairy products into Europe. At gas stations, as a rule, good roadside cafes. There shouldn't be any nutritional issues. Don't drink a lot of fluids as sanitary stops are regulated. For me, a tour with night crossings turned out to be tiring.

Thank you. What about blankets, changeable shoes on the bus or just socks? And another question about excursions: from the list that Accord offers, we want only three excursions. How are they organized and what could be the reasons for their cancellation?

I went to the Eurotour with night crossings during the heating season, so the blanket didn’t fill up. If condras work, you can take a fleece blanket or a thick stole. Socks are enough. The reason for the cancellation of optional excursions may be a shortage in the number of applicants. First, you will be given a questionnaire-information sheet with a list of excursions, where you put down the "ticks" of the desired excursions. Then pay and go on a guided tour.

Ballrina: check with the tour operator if blankets will be issued on the bus so that you do not need to carry your blanket with you. If not, it's best to take it with you. To save space in my luggage, I take a beach towel with me instead of a blanket when I go to the sea. When we go with small children, then there is no way without a blanket.
According to my experience of bus tours, at the border (Moldova-Romania, Romania-Bulgaria, Romania-Serbia, Serbia-Montenegro, Montenegro-Croatia, Romania-Hungary, Hungary-Czech Republic, Czech Republic-Austria) there have never been any problems with meat and dairy products (cheeses, yoghurts, cold cuts.. what else?).
The number of cigarettes and alcohol is limited, this is checked strictly.
Take an inflatable square pillow with you, it will come in handy.
And immediately after boarding the bus, look at the free seats in the back seats, and especially in the last places, it is more convenient to sleep there at night. If they are free, try to take them immediately, otherwise someone else will do it)
Have a good trip!

86jjj, why extra info on Moldovan crossings? The rear seats are designed for drivers to rest (there are 2 on the bus). There is no control between the Schengen countries, but along the way they can stop to check the docks. Neither yoghurts, nor cheese, nor cold meats are prohibited for import into the European Union. They may slip through, or they may not ,,,, The pillow needs an anatomical shape - a horseshoe, to support the cervical spine.

Are you currently moderating my post or what? I expressed my opinion, having a very good experience of bus tours. Irina travels from Ukraine, perhaps my experience will come in handy, as well as yours.
And you are wrong about the practical use of the rear seats in this kind of tours, or about meat and dairy products, and then flat pillows are very necessary when the armrests from the side of the windows interfere or if it is possible to lie down on two seats at once.
"why extra info on Moldovan crossings" Oh, I haven't added the Greek direction Romania-Bulgaria-Greece yet, there were no comments on meat and dairy products at these customs either, but they always check cigarettes and alcohol.

A person leaves Ukraine for Norway. I have great experience. Night travel is hard. Regarding alcohol and cigarettes, I agree - very strictly. On products - as lucky. The rear seats are not allowed to be occupied - this is for the rest of the drivers and the guide (quite logically). Moreover, in order to avoid "hassles" on the bus, the guide controls the seating of tourists in places. (Accord-tour, Extravaganza).

ollennka, The tour has apparently already been bought. She herself would not go on such a tour. I didn't sleep for a minute. God forbid if people can get a good night's sleep on the bus. I sincerely wish.

If purchased, then the advice is to take a “cocktail” of persen and melaxen for these two nights, which will allow you to take a little nap.
And how is the issue with a shower in the morning solved when moving at night? After all, hotels, as I understand it, are booked only from the evening following the move.

The question with the shower is NO, unfortunately. Only in the evening, upon arrival at the hotel.
